This is all over Facebook this morning, with blog references by well-known genealogists such as Dick Eastman and Megan Smolenyak. Here's a link to Megan's blog referencing this: http://megansmolenyak.posterous.com/are-we-going-to-lose-the-social-security -deat Seems to be due to an initiative before Congress to pass a ban on posting the online SSDI due to identity theft issues. She has some links in her blog to other blogs and/or articles. Congress, in its short-sightedness, doesn't seem to realize that doing away with the online SSDI will allow more identity thefts to occur, as many banks, credit card companies, etc., use the SSDI to double-check for fraudulent applications.

They said it was "due to sensitivities around the information in this database." I wonder how many other things on Rootsweb will be considered too sensitive and moved to the pay-side, as well. Pauli

Ancestry is allowing FREE access to their WWII Records for a limited time. (Dec 2 - Dec 7). Take advantage of this quickly and pass it on to your groups! http://www.ancestry.com/pearlharbor
Good golly Miss Molly. Here it is the first of December already. I hope everyone had a great Thanksgiving, or as also known, the Feast of Saint Tryptophan. I hope those that took part in the great battles of Black Friday survived. Seems like it gets crazier every year. We had someone around here that was using pepper spray at a Wal Mart to make sure she got what she wanted. I hope everyone has a safe and happy season and a Merry Christmas [ if I don't get a chance before then ] Archuleta and Routt counties here. -- “The Constitution is not an instrument for the government to restrain the people, it is an instrument for the people to restrain the government lest it come to dominate our lives and interests”. - Patrick Henry - _ _... ..._ _ _._ ._ ..... ._.. ... .._

Yep.... we're both here and working on cleaning up broken links, etc. Happy and safe holidays, everyone. :-) Colleen
Boulder and Weld here, still adding information, plus (and Gail will be happy about this) added What's new pages to both sites. I've had quite a few new submissions for the Weld County site, not so many for Boulder. One woman contributed two letters written by her great, great grandfather, in the early to mid 1870s. He talks about ranch life in the Greeley area, including chasing horse thieves, a buffalo hunt, cowboys, rainstorms, a country social, etc. Fascinating. Pauli
Las Animas here. May you all have a wonderful Christmas, Hannuakah, Kwanza and whatever else our folks are celebrating this month! It's cold and quiet so far in Atlanta, so maybe we can sneak through the end of the year without any major ice storms. Sandi
